As someone who suffers from various allergies, I’ll try to be as diplomatic as possible here. That said...

Agreed, nothing overly dangerous about this. Probably gets tiring after a while, but any average rider can do this, as long as they have decent grip strength. Can’t say that about extreme back country, or even dropping into a pipe. Both of those are far more dangerous should things go bad. Not even on the same scale…

I guess it depends on what kind of slopes you’re on, though.

Streetcars work really well if they’re paired with good urban planning. They don’t make sense as a standalone system.

Or I could get a 2006 Mercedes S65. Looks way more understated, has way more comfortable seats, and isn’t overloaded with massive tacked on screens or badges. The S65 has a twin-turbo 6L V12 as well, and it has 604hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. And this is from a car in 2006 that can be bought for less than $30,000 at…

Still rather have this

I just bought one as a dedicated winter vehicle to keep the salt off my C63. It has every single piece of technology my C63 has, is only 0.5 seconds slower to 60mph, and with a set of snow tires it absolutely owned the blizzards that hit New England this weekend.

I DD a CLA45 and I get about 12 MPG. It may be “possible” to get good gas mileage but if you drive these cares like they deserve, you won’t. Just the amount of overly indulgent downshitfting I do coming to every light to hear the burble-pop prolly costs me about 10 MPG. And it’s totally worth it.

Excuse Me?

So if the Model X gets the summon feature, you can ask your Tesla if it wants to go walkies, have it perk up its ears in delight, and then follow through all from the fob.

Uh, the S62 is hardly a tuned-up M62. And the e60 will continue to depreciate for a few more years, manuals less so.

As you probably know, they are an homage to the wheels on earlier W220 S600:

Wheels should match the trim and bumpers. Old vehicles can pull off chrome since the entire front and back ends of the vehicles are chrome. Now we know we should be getting brushed aluminium at the bling price point, so machined finish is a must if the wheels have to shine. I still give Mercedes respect for attempting…

That conversations happens more than we would like at Benz dealers.

Areola Atom

That expression ( end up in a fiery explosion) is usually reserved to Ferrari (Italian, not Chinese). Don’t create brand confusion.

how exactly does one sustainably source rocks?... do they plant new ones?

I’m confused, what’s wrong with anything that was pointed out?
